"I was thinking of stir-frying those dried mushrooms for Ni'er and Lian'er tomorrow," Old Madam Chu said anxiously, stamping her feet.
"And the three-leaf clover for stewing, why did you take it too? It doesn't grow here."
He complained for quite a while before finally stopping.
Grandpa Chu returned in the middle of the night, and when he ate breakfast the next day, he had dark circles under his eyes.
But he was in good spirits and announced it to everyone.
"I went to my brother-in-law first, and he immediately had someone make a copy of the portrait and sent a team of trusted men to search for it."
"Because of my brother-in-law relationship, I didn't give him any local specialties, which saved me the trouble of giving him a favor."
The brother-in-law mentioned is naturally Wei Biejia.
Old Madam Chu rolled her eyes at him: "How dare you say that in front of Ni'er and Lian'er?"
The old man remained calm and composed: "Madam, you know our family's situation. Every little bit helps."
The mother and daughter felt uneasy thinking about the lavish dinner.
When Old Madam Chu last visited the Qiao family, she was wearing a jade bracelet and gold jewelry, but now she only has a thin layer of silver left on her head, probably because she has pawned most of it.
The family needs to stand up; it must stand up.
"And Han, the military advisor, Lu, the military clerk, Wang, the chief secretary, and Jiang, the executive officer, all agreed to help. Many hands make light work."
Most of the officials that Old Master Chu sought out were from the General's Office. These types of officials are more adept at finding people.
"And Lord Tu said he would issue a reward notice, and if the person is found, the reward will be paid by the state government."
After saying this, the old man's face was full of hope: "Once we find the person, you will have nothing to worry about. Our family can live a good life without any worries."
Qiao Yunni felt a mix of emotions. What did she do to deserve such loving parents, two sets of parents at that?
Upon arriving at the herbal medicine shop, Qiao Lian'er first offered the guests free samples of macadamia nuts and pecans, and then took the opportunity to introduce the medicinal herbs to them.
Medicinal herbs are not only used to treat diseases, but also to strengthen the body and boost one's daily spirit.
Therefore, you don't have to be sick to buy medicine.
Most customers come to eat nuts with the intention of getting a good deal, and they listen to the introduction of medicinal herbs rather perfunctorily. Only a few listen more carefully, and two or three of them even take the time to learn more about them.
Knowing that neither they nor their families were ill, Qiao Lian'er introduced some health-strengthening and body-nourishing remedies, exaggerating their effects to the point of being unbelievable, leaving Old Madam Chu stunned.
The customers also thought it was an exaggeration and looked at Qiao Lian'er. But when they saw her serious expression and her clear, beautiful eyes filled with sincerity, they couldn't help but buy some.
"If it doesn't work, we'll take it back."
Qiao Lian'er smiled sweetly: "It's guaranteed to work, or you can get a refund if it doesn't."
After the guests left, Old Madam Chu was somewhat alarmed: "Lian'er, you made it sound like a miracle cure. Even if it does have some effect, if it's not obvious, they'll probably still demand a refund."
Qiao Lian'er said mysteriously, "Grandma, let's wait a couple of days and see."
Old Madam Chu closed her eyes briefly. "Never mind, as long as my granddaughter is having fun."
